Bully Pulpit

Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Good Reviews

(Fox News) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is getting a slap on the back from the government of Cuba. The Communist country's foreign minister is welcoming Obama's recent comments that he favors easing restrictions on travel and financial exchanges between the U.S. and Cuba.

Felipe Perez Roque says Obama's statements "appear to express the sentiment of the majority of the United States."

Roque called Bush administration policy toward Cuba barbaric and an effort to "force our people to surrender through hunger and illness."
